The Next Generation of Star Wars Tabletop Adventure
Tempest Stormlords are the storm unleashed — warriors who thrive in the heart of violence, moving seamlessly between blades and blasters as if the battlefield were an extension of their body. They do not command from safety or terrorize from afar. They lead by example, carving paths through resistance and daring others to keep up.
Among the Nihil, a Stormlord is proof of dominance. Their armor bears the marks of dozens of raids, their weapons tuned to personal preference and lethal efficiency. When a Stormlord enters the fray, the storm accelerates — hesitation vanishes, and survival becomes a matter of seconds.
In SWURPG, Nihil Tempest – Stormlord units should feel like fast violence with a plan: ambush angles, intimidation, and ruthless target selection. They’re strongest when they can reposition, isolate a victim, and disengage before the heroes can stabilize. Use terrain, smoke, and flanking routes to make the encounter feel like a raid — not a stand-up fight.

Stormlords fight at close-to-mid range, constantly shifting between melee and pistol fire to maintain pressure. They exploit fear, gas, and disruption created by allied units, striking hardest where enemies are already compromised.
Once momentum is established, the Stormlord presses relentlessly, chaining kills into movement and attacks that prevent regrouping. They do not hold ground — they break it, leaving allies to flood the gaps they create. If the Stormlord falls, the raid often collapses into chaos.
